Having told the bot where the transmitters would be, then the robot would know its location with absolutely no error due to wheel slippage or inaccurate sensors . . .
However, I am assuming that the transmitters would be illegal......

exactly, setting up transmitters would be illegal. nor do I want to set any other devices up to generate any fields. I could easily tell everyone what I'm thinking, but a lot of FIRST is innovation and I want to see if other teams can come up with this idea on their own. However, I'll give you all a hint: what signal is readily avialible at
every competition that could be used in such a way as to be useful to your robot?
